Oh How Original Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Does this now mean they can fit a 1/10 motor into them? I'm not totally familiar with which scale is which diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Ah fair enough... So, this mount isn't really any advantage then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 If you can fit the emb truggy motor its a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jea Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 just goggled the stock motor and it seems to be 24mm. so 29mm is better but its still only a 380 size (28mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBuzz Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 can fit the Neu 1110 range of motors with out issue now, or the Leomotion L30 series, i might go for this mount and a Leomotion motor or get a 36mm custom mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Ahh, I didn't realise there was a 28mm 'class' of motor within the 380 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It's great you can fit bigger cans but unfortunatley the drive train is still to weak to handle the extra power so it's a win loose IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It's a cheap thing to buy in the name of effiency though, not everything is about more power, sometimes you just want things to run a bit cooler and for a bit longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Trackstar motors but i'd take a leopard or Tenshock over them unless there was a huge price difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 buggy motor in a truggy? even if it is micro class. Emb truggy motor all the way imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjagaiden Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I've got a velineon 380 on the stock mount in my M8T, which is a 28mm diameter can, and I can't get everything lined up properly on the stock mount. I haven't cut a slot in the chassis plate. Will this mount give the extra clearance to mount these larger motors or do I still need to cut the chassis?

Don't cut he chassis just make some gaskets for the diff cases and a gasket for the motor mount i used card for the diff cases and you can use A couple of washers or shims for the motor mount.. Somewhere in the mini section I had a thread on how I did it on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjagaiden Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Cheers guys. I remember reading about this in the thread. I don't know why mine doesn't mesh properly. Motor mount design is just pants compared to the LC one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
